ABSTRACT The function of super‐enhancers (SEs) in pulmonary hypertension (PH), especially the proliferation artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), is currently unknown. We identified SEs‐targeted genes PASMCs with chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)‐sequence by H3K27ac antibody and proved that CBP/p300‐interacting transactivator Glu/Asp‐rich C‐terminal domain, 2 (CITED2) an gene through bioinformatics prediction, ChIP‐PCR, dual‐luciferase reporter assays other experimental methods. also found...

Glutathione-S transferases (GSTs) comprise a series of critical enzymes involved in detoxification endogenous or xenobiotic compounds. Among several GSTs, Glutathione S-transferases mu (GSTM) has been implicated number cancer types. However, the prognostic value and potential functions GSTM family genes have not investigated lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).We examined expression GSTM5 LUAD identified associations among expression, clinicopathological features, survival data from Cancer Genome...

Stromal cell–derived factor 1 (CXCL12) and its receptor CXC chemokine 4 (CXCR4) are known to modulate hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH) vascular remodeling by mobilization recruitment of progenitor cells the vasculature. However, little is about CXCL12/CXCR4 regulating proliferation cell cycle progression arterial smooth muscle (PASMCs). To determine whether regulates PASMC cycle, immunohistochemistry, Western blot, bromodeoxyuridine incorporation analysis were preformed in this...

Qiangxin recipe (QXF) is a well-known Chinese herbal medicine commonly used in Asia for thousands of years to treat cardiovascular diseases, but its underlying mechanism remains unclear.This study aimed illustrate whether Recipe induce glucose metabolism and inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis by promoting the activation transcription factor Krüppel like 5 (KLF5).In vitro experiments, we constructed an H9C2 injury model using doxorubicin RNA-seq data analysis detect QXF. In vivo C57 BL/6 mice...

Gastrodin, one of the major components extracted from Chinese herb Gastrodia elata Bl., has been widely used as an anticonvulsant, sedative, analgesic and hypotensive. In our study, we aimed to investigate effects possible mechanisms gastrodin on vascular KATP channels. Tension experiments were rat mesenteric artery rings without endothelium. Patch clamp executed influences membrane current in smooth muscle cells. Gastrodin induced vasorelaxation a concentration dependent manner when...

Enhancing glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) signaling with a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) inhibitor might exert protective effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD). We found that intragastric administration of Gramcyclin A (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg), novel DPP-4 inhibitor, for 3 months significantly reversed cognitive decline in APP/PS1/tau triple transgenic mice dose-dependent manner. treatment markedly reduced Aβ plaques as well the insoluble soluble forms Aβ40 Aβ42 hippocampus mice. Treatment...

Targeting the PPARγ might be a potential therapeutic strategy for diabetes-associated cognitive decline (DACD). In this study, Gypenoside LXXV (GP-75), dammarane-type triterpene compound isolated from Gynostemma pentaphyllum, was found to novel agonist using dual-luciferase reporter assay system. However, whether GP-75 has protective effects against DACD remains unknown. Interestingly, intragastric administration of (40 mg/kg/day) 12 weeks significantly attenuated deficit in db/db mice....

Angiogenesis plays a critical role in the progression of cardiovascular disease, retinal ischemia, or tumorigenesis. The imbalance endothelial cell proliferation and apoptosis disturbs establishment vasculogenesis, which is affected by several arachidonic acid metabolites. 15-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic (15-HETE) one However, underlying mechanisms angiogenesis induced 15-HETE human umbilical vascular cells (HUVECs) are still poorly understood. Since extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)...
